Dash lights still out

Nope. It wasn't the switch after all. Got another one and still have the same problem. I can get them to work only with switch between the park on and
headlight on positions. But now there is no taillights at all. Any ideas anyone?
Would greatly appreciate it, as I work 3rd shift and go to/from work in the dark!

Did you inspect the wiring at the connector, since you have a new problem with lights maybe it a wiring problem.

Re:Dash lights out

Yes, all the connection are good, bulbs, etc. I have a book that goes to 1990 and in the schematic for '90 it shows a "multi-function switch) in this circuit. Not sure if my '92 would have this or not. Also don't have a clue as to where this switch might be located. Thanks for the reply, Ken

Multifunction switch is the blinker/brights/windsheild wiper switch on the column.

Thanks for that info, RangerPilot. That makes sense. Curios though why schematics for earlier years don't show it.

It's shown in all of my 1988 & 1989 Ford manuals.
